This is from the NYT masthead editorial about the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. The highlighted line invalidates not just the editorial, but the very idea of newspaper editorials crafted by the consensus of a board. Better to publish nothing at all than to publish a line like this.

Video games wield such a weird position culturally, because they can have the capacity to be just a fidget toy for the most childish people on the planet, and also have the capacity to be the most peak form of art to ever exist, if done well.

Unfortunately it’s actually really good. Judging a game solely on lootboxes when you paid zero dollars for the game is comical to me. At one point ANY sort of paid DLC sure was tough to swallow but like, it’s optional, it’s how the gamesworld has evolved.

IMO allowing players freedom does not coincide with making things difficult, skillwalls are an instant turn off for me in games—-let me choose to make the game more difficult if i want to challenge myself but making it mandatory is lazy and a cheap way to pad average playtime

We simply cannot live in a country where the death of hate mongers is a tragedy and the death of everyone else only warrants a shrug.

i get it, but people moving a release dates for a game because of another game is depressing af to me—the industry (not just games) is so bleak.
